Canon to the Guardian Angel — Odes III–IX

O holy Angel, guide to my repentance: lead me back to the Lord Who loveth mankind; and intercede that He may grant me forgiveness of my many sins and the grace of salvation, now and at the dread judgment.O guardian of my soul, shed light upon my darkened heart, so that as I hasten to God with compunction, I may never be separated from thee, O good one, nor from His Kingdom.O Angel and guardian, look upon me with compassionate eyes and restrain me from evil; draw my mind to wisdom, and guide my feet in the way of peace unto the end of my life.
